Just a thought: I would send this along. I just found out there is an Ostomy Conference at the Holiday Inn Washington Dulles International Airport, May 4-6, 2018. Website www.osgnv.org. This would be a great place for some of us that live in the area to attend. I wanted to do something like this, but this is far more than I could do. Please let me know what you think.

Hi Streetrod, I attended this conference two years ago and it was really fun. I would recommend it to anyone in a 6 hour drive radius... or maybe some would not mind flying in to the Dulles Airport. The cost is reasonable as well. My husband and I are planning on attending this year as long as work does not present a conflict. Take care and have a nice weekend. Sincerely, LadyHope

Yeah a year ago I wouldn't have known what to ask to find out I had a parastomal hernia. The only reason I knew about them is from this site. Thank goodness for this site. Otherwise I would still be clueless. If I hadn't though from stuff on here to ask my surgeon about having a hernia, then I would have never had the CT and I would have never known that she should have known about it a year ago.

I am planning on attending, plus I'm going to email everyone that was interested in my Get Together about the conference. Let's see if we can get a few to go.

Do they give out name tags so we know who everyone is, especially people on this site?
